Although the Japanese had already built up a strong carrier weapon before the Second World War, they initially still relied on battleships as the hard core of their fleet. Only in the course of the war they did had to learn to give priority to aircraft carriers in naval warfare, following the American example. More and more desperately, they tried to counter America's concentrated industrial power with enough Japanese aircraft carriers, and resorted to all available means. HOW they did it, is what this volume is about.
With a lot of b/w pictures, hundreds of b/w drawings as well as colour profiles of the ships.
